Possible Scam - Krovet Industries H.K

Hello,

I am after some information on what my current legal rights are in regards to a current issue i have been going through. I made the mistake of doing business through a dealer in China for a Dell XPS Computer. My company (self-run business) was sourcing a sample unit to check to make sure it is genuine etc and then if so looking at importing and selling the units. I spoke to quite a few dealers and found the best price, organised for one unit to be brought and confirmed this with the seller. Payment details were supplied and i paid for this item through Western Union (big mistake)....

I got an email saying item would be shipped once payment had been recieved, then a day later another email saying payment had been recieved, and then finally another day later an email saying that the CEO had said the item would not be shipped as it does not meet the minimum sample quantity, and that i had to send more money to make up the minimum sample number, and then the samples would be shipped. I requested a refund and was told 'its not gonna happen' as the money had been used in the sample packing and shipping..

Given i now doubt the company, and believe that if i send money the same thing will happen again, what are my options from here?, How could i attempt to get a refund given it did not meet the inital agreement, and had i have known that the minimum sample order was more than one i would not have ordered from them in the first place.

You may file a police and/or FBI report for fraud, and file in court where they live as well if you know who they are. WLD can also often track them down, prosecute and collect though they do charge a basic fee for that. WLD has 380 lawyers in the group covering all U.S. states and 26 countries.

By the way--never use Western Union to pay for any business transaction. It is the number one choice for scams since it is so hard to trace back once you have been scammed.
